Since March 6th 2015, the NASA probe Dawn has been orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the main asteroid belt. It’s mission is to explore the previously unexplained surface features of Ceres– such as a dark spot, Piazzi, about 250 km in diameter, as well as white spots, whose origin is previously completely unknown.

Ceres was discovered roaming between Jupiter and Mars thanks to the „Celestial Police“ of 1800. Indefatigable urge to discover and a systematic search of the astronomers brought success.

Structures, surfaces and shapes form an important basis in the works of Christopher Sage, Janine Eggert and Marte Kiessling. While their works are thematically very different, they circle like the probe Dawn, their artistic issues, analyzing textures and formations, in order to draw their own personal conclusions, calculating their orbits of enquiry.
